Have you ever tested déjà vu? If that term
is unfamiliar to you, it is not unusual: Things with strange sensations and
irrational ones always have a scientific name that is unknown to people. Déjà
vu is a French word that means already seen or seen before.
Have you ever felt like you've seen a
moment or experienced a situation, and you've felt strange like you've lived
this thing before? Don't worry, you're not alone. I also experienced this
strange feeling, and although the situation I couldn't have experienced before,
I feel like I know every detail.
Have you told a friend that you've been
standing in this place before, or even seen this cat pass by like this before?
Your friends then say that you're delusional and you've never been here before
or even ignore a conversation and start another conversation.
This situation seems strange, so let's hear
now why this phenomenon is happening. Two of every three women or men
experience this phenomenon in their lives. This phenomenon occurs in people
with déjà vu once a year and decreases with age.
Spiritual Causes of Déjà VU
Many explanations have been proposed, both
fictional and scientifically based. Some people say that this phenomenon is a
sign that you remember a part of your previous life.
There are those who say it's a glitch in
the Matrix which makes us unaware that intelligent machines have already taken
over the world. That explanation sounds a little science fiction. We always
associate déjà vu sense with mystery and supernatural things because they're
usually fast and unpredictable.
Scientifically Based Causes of Déjà VU
The phenomenon of déjà vu is difficult to
study, but scientists have tried as hard as possible to understand hypnosis,
virtual reality, and other methods. It was initially believed that déjà vu was
caused by the brain forming false memories, but it was later proved wrong after
several tests.
Déjà vu has been directly associated with
temporal lobe epilepsy and, according to studies, it can occur during actual
seizure activity and people with these seizures can experience moments between
seizures.
The problem is that the phenomenon is
difficult to study, as it occurs suddenly, and happens in people without health
problems, which can contribute to this phenomenon.
There are several theories that explain
this phenomenon and the first one is split perception. The theory is that Déjà
vu happens when you see something at two different times.
The first time you see this thing, you're
distracted, and then your brain starts to regurgitate the memory of it, even if
it has limited information and memory, but at the same time you're not aware of
it, and when you see it again, which is, for your first time, your brain starts
to remember it and you experience déjà vu.
Another theory that has been proposed by
scientists is the presence of malfunctions in the circuitry of the brain. This
theory suggests that déjà vu results from damage to the brain referred to as a
short electrical failure in the form of seizures.
The result is a confusion of events, and
the brain realizes the error that is happening today as being something that
has happened before.
What Do You Think? Is It a Dysfunction
or Memory Recall?
Another explanation for the theory is the result of dysfunction. Normally, when your brain absorbs information, it follows a specific path of short-term memory storage, but in the event of a malfunction short-term memories can take a shortcut to long-term memory storage.
This difference in time may be short but your mind recognizes
them as two different experiences of this individual event.
Memory recall theory is also one of the
theories that emerged to explain déjà vu.
Experts believe déjà vu is related to the way in which memories are processed;
Anne Cleary supported this theory through her research, finding evidence that
déjà vu occurred in response to something that she had previously experienced
but did not remember.
It can be a childhood event or you can't
remember it for some unknown reason, when if the security memory leads to a
feeling of familiarity and the memory simply links the memories together, then
déjà vu occurs.
When Do We Have To Worry About
Repeating This Phenomenon?
This phenomenon is often not seriously
caused, but it can occur before or during epileptic seizures and is a symptom
of their onset. If you have frequent déjà vu with epileptic seizures, it is
best to see a doctor immediately. To avoid the risk, if you have déjà vu more
than once a month, visit your doctor.
This phenomenon is also associated with
dementia patients suffering from repeated déjà vu experiments and dementia is a
serious patient that should never be ignored.
If you have déjà vu, but it doesn't happen
very often, don't worry, it's a phenomenon that affects many people. Although
it's not yet clearly explained, scientists are doing their best to uncover the
hidden aspects of it.
